One possible reason your cowboy cookies turn out flat is the butter is too soft or melted. Try using butter that's slightly softened but still firm.

If your cowboy cookies are turning out flat, a few things might be off. Try chilling the dough before baking to help them hold their shape. Also, check if you’re using enough flour or if your baking powder/baking soda is fresh. Finally, don’t overmix the dough—it can lead to flat cookies. Hope this helps you get those perfect cookies!
